Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot With Fireplaces
As the cold begins to roll in and we find ourselves indoors more (and needing a warming center), fireplaces are on our minds.
Fireplaces can fit your space in a variety of ways, whether you're renovating, planning a new house, or simply wanting a source of natural heat. As you get ideas from the following photos, keep in mind:
1. To help your home run efficiently in the cold months, a well-designed fireplace area should help distribute warmth around your open rooms.
2. The fireplace is a gathering area, so arrange furniture in a way that is inviting and easy to navigate.
3. A fireplace and mantle create a visual center to the room. An unusual structure and material provides unexpected beauty.
4. Consider the safety needs in your home. Do you have pets or children to protect from sparks and heat? Think outside of that hot firepit box on how to enjoy the fire without stress.
Here are some inspiring ideas for fireplaces.
